Neon Genesis Evangelion Season 1 Episode 25

This is a singular piece of work with an exceedingly experimental structure. In spite of the story unfolding only through monologues and conversations between characters, the directing does a brilliant job maintaining the high tension. When it was originally aired, many voiced their opinion that they could not understand the story in Episode Twenty-Five and the Final Episode. However, there is actually a bare-bones explanation of the story within the show. That being... Gendou uses Rei to execute the Human Instrumentality Project and the complementation of man begins. Seeing the remakes, Episode 25' "air" and Episode 26' "My Purest Heart For You," may in fact make the content of Episode Twenty-Five easier to understand. The depictions of Misato and Risuko being shot to death, Unit-02 hugging its knees in the lake, and Asuka likewise hugging her knees within Unit-02 all correspond to Episode 25'.
